i'm very grateful to president obama for nominating me and entrusting me with this important responsibility. and i am particularly grateful to secretary clinton, senator mccain, and senator warren for their introductions of me just now. i will not take it personally that this may be the one item in washington that seems to unite democrats and republicans to get me out of the senate quickly. secretary clinton particularly has served above and beyond the call of duty. i think everybody on this committee would agree. her service has been superb, and we all thank her for a job well done, for her tireless efforts on behalf of our nation. she has set a very high mark for the stewardship of the state department and her commitment to country. and i can pledge to you that with the consent of the senate, i will do everything in my power, soummon every energy and all of my focus to build on her record and on the president's vision. senator mccain, as he mentioned, is a longtime friend. we met here in the senate coming from very different political positions and perspectives, but you know, we found com

. >>> another issue is getting reform. president obama called for swift action. >> the idea that i'm proposing have traditionally been supported by both democrats like ted kennedy and republicans like george w. bush. you don't get that matchup very often. the question is very simple. do we have the resolve as a people, as a country, as a government to finally put this issue behind us? i believe that we do. >> one of the main provisions in the plan puts up to 11 million illegal immigrants on a clear path to citizenship. it's interesting. some republicans were upset with the president because they're saying he's not talking about a prerequisite, border security first before they grant this path way to citizenship. >> this won't be the last conversation on that. >> that's right. i agree. >> plenty more to follow. >>> nor john kerry has been confirmed to be the next secretary of state. the senate overwhelmingly affirmed kerry's nomination. he served as chairman of the senate foreign relations committee for the last four years.

she also was already a world figure. >> in many ways this was obama pulling frankly a bill clinton, a politically shrewd move, all about the clintons and hillary ace political future. the joke is whether vice president joe biden has been peeled off the ceiling yet but on what may have been the more interesting obama interview published this weekend, the president talked gun control, the future of both parties and football with the "new republic" as they tried to relaunch. the president acknowledged getting gun control through congress will be tough and said "if you group up and your dad gave you a hunting rifle when you were 10 and you spent the day whim and your uncle and that became part of i don't are family traditions, you can see why you would be protective of that." ask if he ever fired a gun, the president went as far to say up at camp david we do skeet shooting all the time. the president will meet with law enforcement officials across america. it's looking more and more like by the way, that a background check bill is the vehicle that is most likely to get through the senate.

things would probably improve over the course of obama's term. this number calls that into question, and that's not good for the white house. they were ready to move on to some of these legacy issues. they wanted to talk about twunz. they wanted to talk about immigration. they don't want to go back and refight the fights of 2009 and 2010 all over again, so for them this is a real unwelcome distraction and for republicans it's an opportunity to poke the president m nose, which is something they enjoy doing. the question is does it change anything politically in washington, and here's why i think this is important. i don't think that it does, or at least not yet. i think we're still cruising toward the opportunity for both sides to link arms and jump over the sequester cliff on march 1 it's. i think the politics of that are getting increasingly likely as both sides say, hey, you know what, we can live with these spending cuts. we'll do it. it will be a drag on gdp, but not that much. we're prepared to have these cuts. republicans want the win, and
